Recording settings
If you'd like all your recordings to start a
bit earlier or perhaps limit the number
episodes of a series your TiVo box keeps,
you can change your Default Recording
Options.
1. From Home select Help & Settings >
Settings > Recordings > Series Link+
and Recording Options
2. Choose Series Link+ and Recording
Options where you can set values for:
•
Whether you just want new shows, or
repeats too.
•
How many episodes you want to keep
from a series.
•
Whether you want too record in HD or
not.
•
Number of minutes before a
programme's due to start that you'd like
to start recording.
•
Number of minutes after it's due to end
that you'd like to stop recording.
These new settings will only apply to all
the recordings you plan from now on and
not the recordings you've already made.
The simplest way to fix most issues
Restart the set top box
Shuts down your box, then starts it back up again. If there are recordings in
progress, they will be interrupted for the period of the reboot (around five minutes). It
won't affect scheduled recordings, Series Links, WishList searches or Suggestions.
Clear or Reset your set top box
Want to restart your box, or delete what's stored? You'll find the instructions here.
1. Select Help & Settings on the Home screen.
2. Choose Clear or Reset set top box.
3. Select Restart or Reset System.
4. Follow the instructions on screen.
Give your TiVo box a name
If you use your TiVo box with our TV
Anywhere App, or, have more than one

to box, you might want to give it a friendly
name. Go to > Help & Settings >
Settings > Devices > Name this TiVo
Box. You can select one of the suggested
names or enter one from scratch.
